Boat Painting & Antifouling in Colorado

Browsing all marine service providers in Colorado. We're still tagging shops by service type — for now, listings below cover the full Colorado marine industry.

Painting a yacht right is meticulous work — hull prep, fairing, primer, multiple topcoats, and proper cure conditions all matter for longevity. Bottom paint (antifouling) is typically refreshed every 1–3 years; full topside repaint is a 5–15-year decision depending on hull material and care. Awlgrip and Imron are the gold-standard polyurethane paints for topsides.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a full topside paint job take?: Plan on 3–6 weeks in the yard for prep, multiple coats with cure time, and final buffing. Expect $300–$800 per linear foot for an Awlgrip-grade finish on a typical yacht.
How often do I need to repaint the bottom?: Most ablative antifouling paints last 1–2 years; hard antifouling (for racing or trailered boats) can go 2–4 years. Boats kept in warm water with high biological activity (Florida, Caribbean) may need annual application.
